New Delhi, October 27 (IANS). In India, deals worth $1.48 billion were made in the technology sector in the third quarter of 2025 (July-September period) and the number of deals during this period was 80. This information was given in a report released on Monday.
A report by business advisory firm Grant Thornton said that there has been a 33 percent increase in the value of deals on a quarterly basis, which shows that the trend is now shifting from volume to value.
According to the report, the number of high-value deals (more than $50 million) has increased four times. This shows that investors are focused on sustainable enterprise models and cross-border scalability.
The reason for this surge is the change in global conditions and the increasing focus of investors on AI, SaaS and enterprise automation.
A total of 29 merger and acquisition (M&A) deals have taken place in the tech sector and their value was $743 million. The value has increased by 239 percent on a quarterly basis. The reason for this is the increase in deals in AI and automation based technology services.
Raja Lahiri, Partner and Technology Industry Leader, Grant Thornton Bharat LLP, said, “Q3 2025 reflects a clear shift in India’s technology ecosystem, where investors and acquirers are prioritizing value-driven, infrastructure-focused deals in AI, SaaS and enterprise automation. Breakout The next wave of companies is expected to emerge from deep tech and AI-native infrastructure.”
The number of outbound deals has surged and accounted for 87 percent of the total value, including three high-value transactions worth more than $100 million, the report said.
During the period under review, 50 deals were recorded from private equity and venture partners in the tech sector, valued at $584 million, representing a growth of 39 per cent in volume and 172 per cent in value on a quarter-on-quarter basis.
Activity in the tech sector has been quite weak in Q3 2025 with only one IPO and no QIP transactions recorded.
